Useful functions

Ultimate iAUTO that automatically detects the movement of a subject

iAUTO is an intelligent shooting mode that automatically sets one of the 42 scenes (36 scenes for movie recording) to capture an optimal image. Difficult shooting scenes such as "Portrait Backlit & Vivid" and "Spotlight" can be appropriately detected and exposure is adjusted accordingly. In addition to scene detection, it can also detect the movement of the subject immediately before shooting to instantly adjust the ISO speed and shutter speed, reducing motion blur in dark environments. Moreover, because i-Enhance detects the main subject in the image, you can even keep the soft texture of human skin while making the colors of the blue sky and flowers more vivid to faithfully represent the impression of the captured scenes.

Photo Story lets you combine photos into a single story

You can combine multiple photos while accentuating compositions and colors just by touching the rear monitor to create pieces of art. The new theme 'Layout' is added to the E-PL7, which lets you enjoy photo album style expressions. The function that temporarily saves an image when the MENU button is pressed while shooting is newly added for an even further range of photographic expression.

Live Guide lets you capture photos exactly as you imagine without needing to be a professional photographer

Live Guide is now further advanced so you can intuitively control settings for photo brightness, coloring, and background defocusing without knowing a specialized vocabulary. Multiple effects can now be applied to images. This lets you intuitively add finishes to images just the way you imagine.

*'Blur Background' and 'Express Motion' cannot both be used on the same image.

Panning Shot, a new scene mode that does not require any detailed settings

This shooting mode automatically sets the optimal shutter speed for panning shots by detecting the angle of view and movement speed. With this feature, the camera will automatically set Sequential L or Center Group Target, so all you will need to do is move the camera to keep the subject in the center, making previously difficult panning shots easy and fun.

Old Film, a new movie effect lets you enjoy recording video that looks like old movies shot on film

Old Film Effect is newly added to movie effect Noise, scratches, and dust are randomly inserted and the entire screen is slightly darkened to produce a retro feel to your movie.

Live Composite seamlessly composites images in lighten mode so that it can capture starscapes without over exposure unlike normal bulb shooting. It is useful for capturing beautiful star trails, fireworks and fire flies in the background while shooting a bright building in the fore ground. As with Live Bulb, you can check the progress on the LCD monitor.Moreover, you can also use the flash to emphasize a moment during the exposure or a pen light to write letters. A maximum exposure of up to 3 hours is possible.

Shooting time: 3 seconds

Shooting time: 1 minutes (20 shots, merged)

Shooting time: 60 minutes (1200 shots, merged)

Live Bulb lets you check the progress of Bulb shooting in Live View

This function updates the display during exposure at a set interval. There are two modes: Live Bulb opens the shutter while the shutter release button is pressed and Live Time opens the shutter on the first push and closes it on the second push. During Live Bulb mode, the exposure time and histogram are displayed on the screen. When the Bulb/Time shooting mode is selected, the backlight is automatically dimmed to reduce the power consumption and brightness.

The histogram can be shown or hid by turning ON/OFF the INFO button

New lithium-ion battery with increased capacity

A new rechargeable lithium ion battery is included with the E-PL7. While it keeps the same shape as the BLS-5, battery capacity is increased to 1210 mAh. When used with M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 EZ, you can take approximately 350 shots.

The amazingly compact underwater case for the E-PL7 together with the compact, high-performance underwater flash provides underwater photography support that is only possible with Olympus.

The stylish silver PEN E-PL7 Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Digital Camera with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens from Olympus brings with it a compact design and a 3.0" 1.04M-dot touchscreen LCD that flips downward 180° for creating quality self-portraits. In addition to this display, it features a 16-megapixel Live MOS CMOS sensor and the TruePic VII image processor for creating detailed imagery. The E-PL7 also manages to fit three-axis VCM image stabilization into the body for sharp photographs and video.

Focusing with the E-PL7 is speedy with an 81-point FAST AF system which includes Small Target AF. This system can work while taking continuous shots up to a rate of 8 fps and the grid covers the entire frame. Full HD video recording is also possible. And, this camera comes with the FL-LM1 flash which offers wireless control over additional units.

Fourteen different Art Filters are available for achieving unique looks and effects in your imagery. This includes settings like Vintage and Partial Color. HDR, HDR bracketing, and focus peaking features are also included for assistance during shooting. Interval shooting also has a helpful tool which will convert individual images captured during interval shooting into timelapse.

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity enables users to pick up their mobile devices and use them to accentuate usage of the E-PL7. By using the Olympus Image Share app you can move images from your camera directly to your device as well as control the camera itself.

Along with compact form, interchangeable lenses are an important advantage to mirrorless photography and Olympus provides a wide array of Micro Four Thirds lenses to fit the E-PL7, including the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R which is bundled with this camera. This zoom lens, designed specifically for Micro Four Thirds mounts, has an overall length of just 1.9". This is a versatile lens, covering a wide-angle to moderate telephoto focal length of 14-42mm, or 28-84mm in 35mm format. It is comprised of 8 elements in 7 groups and the lens has 7 aperture blades that create natural background blur.

16MP Live MOS Sensor & TruePic VII Image Processor

The 16MP Live MOS sensor is optimized to maximize the performance of all M.Zuiko digital lenses in any shooting condition. Improvements to the sensitivity and read-out speed thanks to the inclusion of the TruePic VII image processor enables shooting of clear, detailed low-light images at ISO speeds up to 25600, and also allows for Full HD movie recording. The processor also helps with the fast 8 fps continuous shooting speed and color reproduction.

FAST Autofocus System with Small Target AF

Benefitting the quick shooting performance of the E-PL7, a contrast-detection focusing method employs 81 AF areas across the entire sensor to quickly and accurately acquire focus. Aptly named, FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) is able to home in on subjects using single-shot or continuous focusing methods, as well as AF tracking to benefit working with moving subjects. In addition there is Small Target AF that can be used to acquire focus in a smaller area for increased accuracy.

When working with manual focus, focus peaking is available to simplify attaining precise sharpness, which is especially useful when using selective focus or shallow depth of field techniques.

3-Axis In-Body VCM Image Stabilization

In-body VCM (Voice Coil Motor) image stabilization helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake with any lens in use and compensates for camera movements that become especially noticeable when working with telephoto shots, macro imagery, and long exposures. Furthermore, this unique image stabilization system works across three axes, versus the conventional two axes, and compensates for vertical and horizontal shifts (yaw and pitch) as well as camera shake along the optical axis (roll). This range of detected movements serves to benefit traditional still image shooting as well as movie recording and working with moving subjects more effectively.

3.0" 1.04M-dot 180° Flip LCD Touchscreen

The E-PL7 is equipped with a bright 3.0" 1.04M-dot LCD touchscreen that can flip downward 180° for a much simpler and easier method of taking self-portraits. The screen allows for touch focusing and shutter release, making it much more intuitive to take photos. Additionally, it can flip upwards for shooting at low angles.
